Reflection #7 Creative Dance Wk #2
As I have experienced dance and creative movement in Creative Arts class, I have realized that a person doesn't have to be talented and coordinated to participate in these activities. I also found out that the more I participated in the creative movement activities, the more I felt comfortable doing them.
I like how creative dance can be integrated into academics. I think it was quite easy planning these activities around picture books and by using the ideas in our textbook. I enjoyed coming up with plans for our group presentation and it was fun participating in some of the other group's activities. I like this strategy and plan to use the ideas created by my classmates, along with others that I create, and from books written by other teachers. I would like to involve my students in this type of active learning. I will also encourage my students to be considerate of others and to include everyone in these activities, so that every child will feel comfortable enough to participate.
Using creative movement and dance is a good tool to use because it not only teaches and reinforces facts and information, but students can have a chance to express themselves in their own way. Additionally, children will get up and move, which will give them a chance to exercise, without them even realizing that they are doing just that.
